2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI think Bernie is going to win Michigan
Looking at the map, it looks to me that Hillary's margins in the black areas are not that great, and will not be enough to overcome Sanders margins in other areas. In Wayne County, which Hillary was supposed to win big, she's only leading by about 6% with 23% of the vote counted. In fact, there's nowhere where she has a significant lead, so unless black precincts are being counted late, it seems to me that Bernie will have scored himself a huge win.

(1,835 posts)I am expecting a bevy of black votes in Detroit to make this very close.
Still another 500k votes to count.

He won the night anyway. Even if Hillary ekes out a win.
And I say this as a Hillary supporter.
